"Le narrateur Leo King, dit Toad, se souvient de l'année de ses 18 ans, des rencontres qui l'ont marqué à vie. Sa mère est une fervente catholique, une admiratrice de J. Joyce, et le proviseur du lycée. Son père y enseigne les sciences. Son frère aîné Steve s'est suicidé. Cela se passe dans la ville sudiste de Charleston, et en Californie. L'histoire revient sur la période 1969-1990."
"BONUS: This edition contains a South of Broad discussion guide. Leopold Bloom King has been raised in a family shattered?and shadowed?by tragedy. Lonely and adrift, he searches for something to sustain him and finds it among a tightly knit group of high school outsiders. Surviving marriages happy and troubled, unrequited loves and unspoken longings, hard-won successes and devastating breakdowns, as well as Charleston, South Carolina?s dark legacy of racism and class divisions, these friends will endure until a final test forces them to face something none of them are prepared for. Spanning two turbulent decades, South of Broad is Pat Conroy at his finest: a masterpiece from a great American writer whose passion for life and language knows no bounds."@en
